NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 2, 2005 - 7 iIFC Continued from page 1 of pledges class chapters can accept was raised from 41 to 50. Aly Grossman, an LSA freshman who was admitted to the Sigma Kappa sorority this semester, said she doesn't mind being a part of a larger pledge class but acknowledged that "it is a little bit less personal, and it takes a little bit longer to get to know everyone." In contrast to the sororities, some fraternities have actually lowered the size of their pledge classes to avoid the reduced cohesiveness that could result from a larger pledge class. Con- nor Henley, an Engineering junior and president of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, said his house enjoys having a close-knit community and thus took only 10 pledges this year instead of last year's 19 pledges. But the rise in this semester's overall fraternity recruit- ment numbers suggests Pi Kappa Phi is in the minority and one of the few houses to decrease its pledge class size this fall. Besides the social policy, another factor that contributed to the expectation of a drop in recruitment numbers was the expulsion of two of the larger Greek chapters from cam- pus. But the removal of the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority and the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity from the Greek system last semester was counteracted by the addition of two new chap- ters to the campus Greek system. "The Greek community has shown that it can rebound and has a profound impact on campus," Krasnov said. the michigan daily DOW Continued from page 1 have concentrations as high as 16,000 parts per trillion. In most circumstances, Michigan residential guidelines regard- ing dioxins recommend cleanup when levels of the chemical reach 90 parts per trillion. The average for 68 other loca- tions tested in Michigan is only 6.339 parts per trillion. "(Dow) has accepted responsibility in large part," said John Musser, a Dow offi- cial. Musser added that dioxin dumping is a thing of the past and that Dow now pro- duces virtually no dioxins. Dow is obligated to shoulder the cost of the cleanup, said Robert McCann, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. He added that Dow is currently conducting the first steps of the cleanup, which include measures to prevent public exposure and alerting hom- eowners in affected areas. Dow began its efforts at the beginning of this year, placing the highest priority on severely flooded areas on the riverbank, Musser said. He added that Dow must sub- mit a comprehensive plan to clean up the dioxins to the DEQ by the end of this year before the cleanup process can begin. The cleanup does not have a timeline yet, but McCann said Dow would probably have the cleanup effort well underway before the company's current state-issued operating license expires in early 2013. Musser said a timeline for the cleanup could be set as early as the end of the year, as soon as their plan is approved and underway. But not all parties find Dow's efforts sat- isfactory. "They're dragging their feet," said Tracey Easthope, who directs the Ecology Center's Environmental Health Project. In response to the possibility that diox- ins may have contaminated Midland resi- dents' homes, Dow has conducted carpet and furnace duct cleaning, general dusting and landscaping to cover exposed soil. But Easthope said the measures are only superfi- cial and do not eliminate the dioxins at their source. "People don't need a maid service," East- hope said. "Unless you get the source, you are going to recontaminate the house." But Musser said Dow is waiting on the results of several studies that will examine the dioxin levels and their effects in lieu of taking immediate action on the issue. "It's just premature to be talking about specific actions to be taken," he said. Some environmentalists have called on Dow to begin cleaning up the river imme- diately. But Musser said that "to dredge the river would be very disruptive and would be very devastating to that ecology, and we don't think that would be a good response at any level." One study on the effect of the dioxins is being headed by the University. Led by Environmental Health Sciences Prof. David Garabrant, research teams have investigated the dioxin levels in homes, soil and dust in contaminated areas since the summer of 2004. Garabrant said the study's goal is to dis- cover the best possible method to clean up the chemicals. "This research is going to address a criti- cally important problem in the Midland and Saginaw area on a scientific, factual basis to assess the meaning of the problem and help people move forward," he said. Some have questioned the impartiality of the study because Dow allocated $10 million to fund the project. But Garabrant argues it is completely independent because Dow has no authority over the study. "There's a tremendous amount of protec- tion against outside interference," he said, adding that Dow only has access to public information from the study. Garabrant's team hopes to release the results by next fall. Michigan State University and the Uni- versity of Missouri are also conducting studies related to the issue. Musser said Dow has spent $30 million on studies and preliminary response efforts. Among students, there is a variety of opinions about the situation. Engineering freshman Seifu Chonde, whose parents are Dow employees, has lived in Midland his whole life. He said Dow has provided jobs for many people in the area. "Dow has made (Midland) a more respectable city," he said. LSA freshman Anna Lammers, who sup- ports the Ecology Center's efforts, said she hopes they will open Granholm's eyes to the urgency of the situation. "It all drains into Lake Huron," LSA freshman Geoff Perrin said. "It's pretty much everyone's problem." AVAILABLE JANUARY 2006!!

(Erma Bombeck always warned about lending your car to anyone you have given birth to.) Oh yeah. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be extra-patient with family members and partners today. Discussions with parents could be strained. Others seem to block your bright ideas! What gives? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Authority figures are not receptive to your suggestions at work. Don't let this get you down. This is a temporary black cloud on your horizon. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel that children and young people are an increased burden or responsibility today. Just cope with this. And remember: You were once a burden and responsibility to an adult too! (It's how the world works.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with parents do not flow easily today. Your suggestions will fall on deaf ears. Just be patient. Bide your time. Tomorrow is another day. ITrb C'C SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a hard day to deal with bosses, parents, VIPs and authority figures. Be polite to the police. People in power are not going to easily give you permission. Be cool. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You have to work hard at publishing, higher education and matters dealing with foreign countries. Travel plans are delayed. Your enthusiasm for something is diminished. Oy! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel cautious about money and possessions today. You fear that some- thing won't come through for you. These feelings are temporary. In a few days, they're gone! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be patient with partners, parents and bosses today. Don't be critical of others. And don't react to criticism from others. It's no big deal. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The best way to handle today's energy is just to work hard. Better yet, work alone if you can.
